This world premiere stage adaptation of The Twilight Zone, written by Anne Washburn and directed by Olivier Award-winner Richard Jones, brings Rod Serling’s iconic CBS television series to the theatre. Rather than presenting discrete episodes, Washburn interweaves eight stories by Serling, Richard Matheson, and Charles Beaumont into a single theatrical tapestry. Richard Jones’s production evokes the original black-and-white aesthetic with minimalist sets, a starry backdrop, a vintage CBS logo, and a crackling TV frame. The design, in grays and muted blues, recreates the monochrome feel while adding a knowing archness. The show deploys illusions by Richard Wiseman and Will Houstoun to conjure vanishing pointers, shifting photographs, and uncanny stage effects. Beneath its playful surface, the production examines Cold War-era American anxieties—fear of nuclear catastrophe, conformity, and social tension—that remain resonant today.
